5 ways to enjoy asparagus

Asparagus has been everywhere in our local stores. With better prices than I've seen in a long time, we've been taking home several bunches of asparagus every week. This favorite spring vegetable is enjoyable when prepared both simply and when added to more complex dishes. Here are a couple of my favorite ways to enjoy this lovely vegetable.

Roasting brings out all of the depth of flavor possible with asparagus. I could eat roasted asparagus everyday. It is simple to throw together for a side dish, which also makes me happy. If you wanted to make it fancier, you could also prepare my Roasted Asparagus with Mushrooms and Lemon Butter Sauce.
